(%orrick & StntineL PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY, BY W. S. JONES. TUESDAY AIORN’G, I>EC. 11 1860. —"S’ 11 — ——• & from the Constitutionalist. The Election of Lincoln. The main object of my last communication was ( > relieve the public mind, if possible, from that veitement and panic which has destroyed all con iideuce, and paralysed the business operations of ‘th’ c.ov ‘j. This panic has already cost our planters millions in the depreciation of their pro perty-: and if it continues long, must prove dis astrous to all classes; and to the debtor class, must be attended with absolute ruin. I wished to show that no immediate danger to us is threatened; that so far as auy material interest is concerned, the dan ger is remote and contingent. That equality in the Territories —the main question involved — is practically a mere abstraction, and, by many of our greatest Southern statesmen, believed to be of little importance to the South. This claim, as a Constitutional right, is of recent origin. It was not insisted on even in the angry discussion on the Missouri Compromise. Its justice, however, was none the less clear, and the claim should not be surrendered. Our grievance, from the election of Lincoln, is not one of tangible and immediate wrong to our interests. It is only an evidence on which we ground ©an apprehension of future wrong. It is evidence, but not conclusive evidence. The election of Lin coln is more an insult than an injury. It does net touch a single interest, that would not have been equally exposed under any President. lam , not indifferent, however, to the outrages of those States who have violated the social compact by hostile legislation. But I would not adopt the Japanese plan of redress, and rip open my own bowels, but punish the guilty party. This we can do better in the Union, than out of it. We can make them continue to contribute to our National strength and resources, whilst we can make them m gay lor their own perfidy and folly. Our com plaint is against the ppoy of States, not. against the government oj trie union. It was the pen tidy of States, that called the Union into existence. The Union cemented these faithless, jealous, sectional bodies together, and from objects of contempt, when separated, they rapidly grew into one of the most powerful and prosperous nations on the earth. These puny efforts of faithless States to nullify the fugitive slave laws, have been borne down iu every instance, when the two powers came in con flict. Even Black Republican Judges have gener ally sustained the law, and it is the boast of J udge McLean that a fugitive never escaped in his juris diction, for want of a correct interpretation of the law. Burns was returned, at the point of Federal bayonets, in depite of the laws of perfidious Mas sachusetts. This Government has performed ev ery duty expected of it, and has never failed to exercise its power, wheu called on, to enforce the Constitutional rights of slavery. For that very r, aeon, the ultra Abolitionists at the North de nounced it as “a league with hell,” and wished to j-t rid of it. They are consistent, for it is their only chance to accomplish their hellish designs.— Are we equally so, when we wish to give up this bulwark, without a single equivalent? In tin Union, we have every power cf protection, by State action, that we would have out of it, and. have this additional security besides. In the Union our slaves are (to use the strong language of ano ther,) ‘-as safe as if they were in the middle of the earth.” Are we certain that they will be equally so, under the lone star, and “the sublime terrors of the blue cockade ?” At any rate, the question is a momenteous one. Let us act with deliberation, and not upon impulse. Let us uot destroy iu a moment of passion a gov ernment under which we have long lived and prospered, before we have devised some other in its place. We are not prepared for revolution. The people are not prepared for It. Our sister States are not prepared for it. Scarcely a thought seems to have been employed upon the first conse quences of hasty secession. Let us show our sis ter States the respect of consulting them, whether we abide their counsels or not. As identified in interest, they invite us to consultation, and beg us eat. to endanger the common cause by rash and precipitate action. Shall we listen to these ap peals, or tro.it them with supercilious contempt? By the latter course, we shall weaken our friends, and great !y increase our enemies. lean see not one plausible reason for precipitate action. Wo can withdraw as well at one time as another ; as well after the inauguration of Lincoln, as before ; and a single aggressive movement on his part would strengthen us everywhere, for many of the Republican party even are strongly committed against coercion. On the subject of our sister States, one question must frequently occur to us. Why is it that we are so much more excited, and so much more anxious for dissolution, than the border States ? They lose five hundred slaves by the bad faith of the freF States where we lose one, and should be more excited and more anxious for change, if by a change they eould looh for a remedy. The rea sons, 1 apprehend, are these : First — They appre ciate the, dangers of desolating border wars, with .11 tLvL , ’■** -o uuJ Jvoti wvetuil XJC Hit and property; Second — They see no remedy in separation, but only a tenfold aggravation of the evil. They are near neighbors to the people of Ihe border free States, and understand the whole subject fully— much better than we do. They know that although there are some miscreants employed Li favoring the escape of slaves, there are always hundreds of others ready to assist in their re covery, and that the difficulty of escape deters thou -5 i rids from making the attempt. Insecurity to the fugitive in the free States, is manifest from the fact, that the fugitive makes all haste to reach (Canada, where only he is safe. Now, suppose Canada bordered on the Ohio, instead of the free grates, bound to us by the Union, instead of the slaves now lost, they icould go off in stampedes, vith no power to molest them after they r ached the northern shore ; and this, too*supposes perj>et nalpeace, about as reasonable as to suppose perpet ual sunshine. / Now, what would be the natural result of all 3 this ? From the insecurity of solve property in the border States, it would soon become valueless, and would be sold to the States further South. The pre sent border States would become fres States in self defence.. The same thing would follow upon each border State as the free States advanced upon them, until slavery would be extinguished, or confined to very narrow limits on the Gulf and sea coast, where white labor could not be employ ed. Xhe ultra Abolitionists are logical in their anxiety to dissolve the Union, ‘■‘■as the onlg chance for the ultimate extinction of slavery.” But for us to give up the security which the Union affords us—create a hostile border of six hundred miles --with an exposed coast of two thousand miles— without a ship or a sailor, and trifling materials for either, to give a greater security to slavery, would seem to me as an absurdity, were it not for the respect I have for others entertaining that opinion. ’ But, admitting all this, the question is our excited people: Will you submit to the rule of Lincoln? lias no power to rule. He m the mere puppet in the execution of a Constitu tional Government. I will submit to the laws and Constitution of my country, at least until we can e have time to think of something in its place. Why is our honor more insulted than that of the border States North of us, who are vastly more interest ed than we are? Whilst their honor is deemed safe, ours cannot be iu much danger. They tare acting with calmness and deliberation, and not loading their people with debt and taxes, before they see when, and to what extent this may be necessary. Secession will be followed by collision, or it will’ not be. If it should be, and we have no co-operation of other States, we should be just strong enough to provoke or invito aggression, with no strength to repel it. Let us keep cool. “The best conrage is temper ed with caution.” The inflammatory appeals of t ome of our orators have excited the people to ; madness, and we see and feel the effects upon our material interests, of the>w/246’ created, in view of the “reign of terror, anarchy, and blood,” which they tell us is upon us. I am amazed at some of our most worthy citizens, who have been goading ’the masses to this work of ruin. Look at the ad dress of Mr. Cobb, a citizen of high standing—a man of talents, a promising lawyer, and a Ghris tinn! Conjectures without reason, assertions with out proof, conclusions without premises ! No re volutionary harangue of Desmoulins, Danton, or Couthon, was ever better calculated to stir up an <excited population to anarchy and blood ! “A re roit in seven miles of Milledgeville!” Why should there not be one in the neighborhood of every secession speech ? “Free by virtue of Lin coln's election !” Who told them so, except our own imprudent declaimers? Why not let them know the truth ? instead of quoting the ravings of such fanatics as Garrison, as the sentiments of Lincoln, and the whole North. Why not tell them the truth, that Lincoln him self is opposed to their emancipation, and that in case of revolt, the whole Union, free States and all would march to crush them ? Even the ultra-crazy fanatics, (of which there are not, perhaps, tent hou sand in the Union,) give them hope, unless the Union can be dissolved. I have no hope, Mr. fEditor, of making head against this reckless revolutionary torrent, which now rules the hour. My only hope is to obtain . some time for deliberation and consultation. 1 don’t wish to see our people rush blindly on thein • own destruction without organization, ‘and wit no Government to replace the one we propose to destroy. I have no tears for the “trembling wife and little daughter” now, and shall have none so long as protected by the broad banner of our country. These fears will only commence, when, under the lone star, orunber a diminutive galaxy, hastily patched up, we may begin to emulate the glories of Mexico aud South America. Let ns then, I rep’ at, at least take time and measures to cousult our co-sister States. Let us act in such a way as to retain the friends we now have, and above all, not add to our enemies. There is but little sympathy, I fear, in the rash movements we propose.

What else could be expected in sight of Fort McHenry, where the truly National song of “The Star Spangled Ban ner’’ was composed ? Pincknet. Public Meeting In Forsyth. Pursuant to a previous call, five or six hundred citizens of Forsyth county, without distinction of party, met in the Court House, in Cumming, on Tuesday the 4th inst., to consider the state of the country and nominate candidates for the State Convention. It was the most imposing county meeting ever witnessed by the citizens of this section. On motion of J. J. Clements, Esq., Martin Ro berts, Esq., was called to the Chair, Rev. F. M. Hawkins, L. I). Harris, Beverly Allen, Esq., and Dr. M. W. Sutton were selected Vice Presidents, and W. D. Bently and Dr. A. J. Flowers were ap pointed Secretaries. Col. H. P. Bell was called on to explain the ob ject of the meeting, which he did in a speech of half an hour, presenting the facts which make up the present crisis, in a lucid manner, and invoking a calm and dispassionate consideration of the great issue before the country. After which, J. B. Patterson introduced and moved the adoption of the following platform, prefaced by an eloquent and chaste speech. The people of Forsyth county in mass conven tion assembled, alarmed at the state of the Re public and animated by a common desire to save a common country.; and ignoring all party dis tinctions and prejudices in this fearful crisis, here by unanimously reaffirmed the platform of the De cember Convention of 1850, known as the Georgia platform, with the additional demand of the faith ful enforcement of the fugitive slave law, and the immediate repeal of the unconstitutional Leg islation of the Northern States, which have nulli fied it and the entire cessation of the slavery agi tation, which motion was seconed and supported by J. S. Clements in a short but admirable speech. Dr. Win. Bacon then addressed the meeting for about fifteen minutes, in a style that would do credit to any gentleman in Georgia, for beauty, neatness, and eloquence; at the conclusion of which, he moved that Col. Hardy Strickland and Col. H. P. Bell, be nominated by acclamation as candidates for the Convention, which motion was unanimously adopted. After which 11. P. Bell was loudly called for and came forward and accepted the nomination in as chaste, feeling, and happy effort as can well be conceived. In saying that it was eloquent, elegant and appropriate in every particular and adapted to the occasion is hardly aoing it justice. During this address not only the speaker but every person present seemed deeply impressed in consequence of the fearful state of the country. Indeed during the whole meeting the deepest interest and greatest possible solemnity prevailed in the crowd. All were cool, calm ana deliberate and manifested an unwavering determination to have their rights in the Union if they can, out of the Union if they must. The whole proceedings were characterized by unparalleled unauimity. Maetin Roberts, Pres’t. Rev. H. M. Hawkins,! SYSiST [v. Prc-UK Dr. M. W. Sutton. J .r-Assa fa-**-. Palmetto, Dec. Btli, 1860. At a meeting of the citizens of Campbell co., held at the Court House, Tuesdny Dec. 4th, 1850, opposed to immediate seccession, Judge Darven port was called to the chair, and W. A. Turner, requested to act as Secretary. On motion of J. J. Beall, the following pream able and resolutiods were introduced and unani mously adopted: Whereas, in the election of Abraham Lincoln we realize for the first time in the history of our Government, the success of a sectional candidate to the first office in the gift of the people, a result very much to be deplored by every friend of con stitutional rights. Therefore be it Resolved by this meeting, 1 st. That we concur in the call by the General Assem bly of the State of Georgia, fora convention of the people to determine the time and mode of redress by such convent on. Retolved, 2d. That we recommend to said Con vention to reaffirm the Georgia Platform, with the additional planks, that the fugitive slave law be executed in every case, and those laws passed by free States conflicting with said fugitive slave act, (known as personal liberty bills) shall be repeal ed. Resolved, 3d. That we also recommend that said convention appoint or elect delegates to a Southern Convention, to meet at such time and place as may be hereafter determined, and that said delegates use their influence with the South ern Convention to adopt the platform of Georgia as the policy of the South. Resolied, 4th. That should a united South make a demand for our constitutional rights, we believe those rights could be procured in the Union ; if not, we will defend them in the last resort out of it. Resolved, sth. That we will support no man for the Convention, that does not pledge himself to these resolutions, or who is in favor of immediate secession without co-operation with the other Southern States. After which John Carlton moved that J. J. Beall and Dr. T. C. Howard, be nominated by ac clamation, which was unanimously adopted. It was moved and carried that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Atlanta Ame rican and all papers friendly to our cause be re quested to copy. On motion the meeting adjourn ed. .Titnm* Oa Pl’r vt. A. Turner, Sec’y. and übllc Hkeetiu;: in Chattooga. Summerville, Dec. 4, 1860. Agreeable to previous notice, a large meeting of the citizens ot Chattooga county, of all parties, assembled in the Court House to-day, to give ex pression to the sentiment of the people on the ex citing politieal questions of the day. On motion, Dr. J. M. Hamilton, Dr. S. S. Bailey and Judge Baker (one of Bell, Breck and Douglas parties,) were called to the Chair, and Dr. James Stewart requested to act as Secretary. ‘ On motion, a Committee of ten, viz.: Col. J. R. Gamble, Wesley Shropshire, N. Allman, A. P. Allgood, J. F. Finley, C. C. Cleghorn, T. Williams, J. Horn, Dr. G. B. T. Maddox and Mr. Dumas, were appointed by the Chairmen, who reported the following resolutions: Resolved, That we approve of the Legislative act calling a Convention of the people of Georgia to assemble, by delegates, in Milledgeville, on the 16th of January. 1861. Resolved, That Georgia has taken her position upon all the questions that have threatened the existence of this great Republic, familiarly known as the “Georgia I’latform,” save one—the rendi tion of fugitives from justice and fugitives from labor. Resolved, That our delegates from this county are hereby instructed to vote in Convention when assembled, to re aflirm the “Georgia Platfbrm” with an additional plank, embracing the rendition of fugitives from justice aud fugitives from labor. Resolved, That as one means of enabling the voters of Georgia to vote for delegates to said Convention we would most earnestly urge the publication of Washington’s Farewell Address and the Proclamation of An drew Jackson, or at least the more pertinent and salient of them by the newspaper journals of this State. Resolved, That in the election of Lincoln we have no just ground for secession, because neither Mr. Lincoln nor his party can pass any law, that will violate our rights, if the opposition remain true. He can’t appoint his Cabinet oflicers who may be offensive to the Democratic party and to the slave States. He can do nothing with the Ereseut House of Representatives and Senate, aeked by the Supreme Court, to violate our rights. Resolved, That we would urgently request the anti-Republican members of the opposition firm ly to resolve not to discuss the question of slavery any more, and if the Republicans do so, let them vote down their measu-es and proceed to busi ness upon other important interest of the country. Ist. Because it alienates the national sentiments of the people and destroys that harmony of inter course, essential to the geneial prospeuity and social happiness of our citizens. 2d. It encour ages fanaticism and bigotry, and affords an un failing source of inflammatory material for the demagogue, both at the North and South. Bd. It draws millions of money from the pockets of the people to pay for the useless and protracted de ua os in Congress. 4th. It affords a theme lor hostile disunion and bitter sentiment among peo ple who should be more amicably and profitably employed. The resolutions were passed with ono or two dissenting views. The meeting was addressed by F. A. Kirby, Sam’l Hawkins and Anthony Duffy in a pleasing and happy monner, after which the Chairman, on motion, appointed a committee of t#s from each Militia district, to nominate two suable men as delegates to represent this county in Convention, which committee recommended the names of Wesley Shropshire rnd Lowry Williams. The meeting then adjourned. J. M. Hamilton, 1 S. S. Bailey, V Chairmen. John Baker, ) Jas. Stewart, Sec’y. “Blessed are the Peacemakers..”— Mr. Crit teuden, of Kentucky, and Mr. Boteler, of Virginia, says the Journal of Commerce, are the first to come forward in the nationsl Congress, to heal, if possible, the dangerous dissensions which agitate the country. Their efforts may be unavailing ; the chasm which threatens to divide a people now mighty and prosperous may engulf the States in one common ruin ; commerce mav be blighted, and every cheek become blanched by the horrors of civil war; but those names will always be re vered and cherished as the heritage of the nation, which associated with efforts to assauge the vi olence of human passion, and preserve inviolate the Union which was established at such an im mense cost of blood and treasure. Florida. —Senator Yulee, oftflorida, has writ ten a letter from Washington to the Legislature of that State, announcing that upon learning at any time of the'determination of Florida to dis solve connection with the Northern States, he will promptly and joyously return home to support the banner of the State to which he owes allegi ance. Coi. Blackburn, Federal Marshal for the Northern District of Florida, is closing up the business of his office, preparatory to resingniug. The secession feeling in Florida is quite as univer sal as in South Carolina.

IN SENATE Dec. 6. Mr. Powell, according to a notice given yester* day, introduced a resolution that so much of the President’s Message as relates to tha present agi tated and distracted condition of the country, and the grievances of the staveholding and non slave holding States, be referred to a Special Committee of thirteen members, and that the said Committee be instructed to inquire whether anj additional legislation than already is within the sphere of of the Federal authority and duty be necessary for the protection and security of the property of the United States, and if so, report by bill; and that the said committee be also instructed to con sider and report wither they deem it expedient to propose aa amendment or amendments to the Constitution of the United States as to insure prompt and full protection to the rights and pro perty of the citizens of every State, and the equal rights of the citizens aforesaid under the Federal Constitution. The resolution was laid over for the present. HOUSE. Mr. Morris, o’ Illinois, said it would be remem bered that on Tuesday he sought to introduce a resolution concerning the perpetuity of the Ame rican Union. Since then he had been culled upon by various members and requested again to pre sent it. He, therefore, gave notice that he would do so on Monday next. Mr. Vallandigham, from the Special Committee appointed at a former session on the Senate bill abolishing the franking privilege, made a report thereon and proposed certain amendments. Mr. Cobb, from the Committee on the Public Lands, reported a bill to construe the meaning of the words minimum price of the public lands. After further proceedings the bill was passed. It provides that the word minimun shall be coid strued according to the land graduation act, so as to apply to alternate and reserved sections of land granted for railroads and other internal improve ments ; and in favor of actual settlers, and not to mean dollars and quarter acres ; as now officially construed. The Speaker appointed the special Committee under Mr. Boteler’s resolution to consider the questions connected with the perilous condition of the country. [The names of the Committee have been report ed by telegraph, and published.] The Speaker desired to say that it was parlia mentary usage to name on the Committee the mover of a resolution under which it was ordered to be formed, but he had omitted the name of Mr. Boteler at that gentleman’s own request. He had endeavored to appoiut the Committee to the best of his judgment and at the earliest period, in view of the important business with winch it was en trusted. Mr. Hawkins, of Florida, said—Last Tuesday, I begged to be excused from voting, and for similar reasons I now ask to be excused from serving'on this Committee. I have consulted with the older members as to whether it is voluntary or not for a member appointed on a committee to serve, and have been informed that he is compelled by the rules of the House to serve, unless excused; and that if he does not serve he subjects himself to something like a rebuke or reprimand from the House. Now, as long as lam a member o’ this bod}', I am anxious to respect all its rules, and unwilling to draw upon myself rebuke or repri mand, J therefore ask the House to excuse me from serving as a member of this committee. If I am compelled by the rules or custom to seive, 1 would be a very unimportant and uot an efficient member. I know 1 cannot act with all the com mittee. As to the idea of getting up a committee with unauimity, great peace and” in a Union-sav ing manner, 1 have been opposed to anything of that kind in the past, and am now, believing tiiat the time for compromise has passed foiever. Mr. John Cochrane said he had heard with a great deal of regret that his friend asked to be ex cused from service on the Committee. It has been said here to-day, in the Chaplain’s prayer, “that the grey shadow of the dark wing of disso lution has been extended over our House and country,” and so deep is the gloom that we can scarcely discern one gleatn of light to enable us to transact the ordinary business of legislation. Men’s minds have been devoted for wei ks past to the great and absorbing topic of controversy, which enlists all our thoughts, and demands of ever}’ individual his best exertions and his purest emotions aud wisdom. It is of importance to this issue that the Republic should comm, ml the ex ertions and efforts of all its citizens. I believe now, in the midst of this crisis, with the perils impending over the country, —uav, with the dan ger already upon it,—that there is no reason why this House, representing the patriotism and wis dom of the country, should, in prudence, excuse the gentleman from Florida. I believe, from all parts of his State, where the people are looking with solicitude on the passing events, and with anxious eyes, if the voice of his constituents could be heard, it would be in tones beseeching aud appealing to their Representatives to stand forward in this issue and assume the brunt of the controversy. He did uot believe, with the gen tleman, that it was important to the welfare of the country, there should he a unanimous report on the subject referred to the Committed. How ever, God grant it may he. [Applause in the gal leries, accompanied by cries ot “order” on the floor.] Goa grant it may be stamped with the unanimi ty which patriotism demands? If the country is not to bo saved—if patriotism is not sutlicient to command this glorious result, it is due that the due to the benighted regions of the country that the facts should be impressed on their minds, and ignorance no longer be pleaded as an excuse for the acts which have brought us to this fearful pre cipice. If we are not to have a unanimous effort to save the country fjom the pains and agony of secession, let us kuow what demands are made by oue section ot country upon the other, and let us feel what is the pulsation of the country and let us he enabled to answer the exclamatory enquiry that comes from every portion of the laud— “ Watchman, what of the night ?” clearly and con clusively, whether storms aud madness rule the hour, whether there is a harbinger of peace, or whether there is one gleam of morning by which we ina}’ yet discern the stars and stripes floating frem yonder dome. [These remarks were greeted vvivh warm applause.] Mr. Garnet hastily rose, saying—l trust that in our grave deliberations the Chair will stop ap plause, whether on the floor or in the galleries.— I will give notice— [Here he was met with hiss es from the galleries.) J now move that the gal leries be cleared. [Renewed hisses.] Those dis graceful blackguards who violate the rules of the House aud the decorum and dignity which are due the representatives of the people, should be forth with expelled from the Hall. The Speaker said he had no doubt that the sug gestion of the gentleman from Virginia would be sufficient for a respectable auditory aud insure quiet. Mr. Morris, of Illinois, appealed to Mr. Cochrane to refrain from the farther discussion of this ques tion. Mr. Cochraue resumed. I deprecate, with all others, these either of approbation or of censure, from the galleries or floor of this House; yet an excuse might be found in the char acter of the theme before us, which appeals to the emotions and feelings of all, however humble they may be, in the Republic; hut it is eminently pro per that these rules of order should he observed, and the subject discussed with the gravity that its nature demands, and that the American Con gress, even if in the pangs of dissolution, if it is to tall, should fall decently, with its official robes gathered around it. I had not intended here to allude to the great principle which reposes at the base of this question. It would he unwise and improper, hut the allusions I have made were ne cessary, in order that I might bring to the intelli gence and heart of the gentleman from Florida, considerations applicable to his own patriotic na ture and consistency, which are as common, gen eral and catholic as'is the great and glorious Re public in which we live. I appeal to him on the grounds of a common humanity. I appeal to him on the peril of a common country. I appeal to him by the memories of the past. I appeal to him by the prosperity aud existence of the sovereign Slate of Florida, to remain in the Committee. If these appeals be ineffectual, I now further appeal to those here representing a common country. 1 ask them, without any reflection on the gentleman from Florida, but in pursuance of a duty to be performed, to negative the request that lie be excused. Mr. Hawkins demanded the previous question On his motion for that purpose. Mr. Millson moveu to adjourn. # Mi. Crawford appealed to Mr. Millson to wvh draw his motion so as the vote might be taken to see whether Mr. Hawkins would be forced to serve. lie hoped that others would ask to he ex cused from voting. Mr. Hawkins declared that he was not acting under impulse but from the convictions of twenty years. Mr. Adrain rose to speak. Mr. Underwood and o Ters called him to order. Mr. Adrain, amid the confusion, said the Com mittee ought to he settled to day. lie was again called to order from the Southern side of the Hall. . The question to adjourn was then carried—yeas 104, nays 92. The House had previously decided tin . when they adjourned it should be till Mon day. |y Dr. J.

HF” The Oxygenated Bitters.—For years medical sd ence has been taxed and tuc skill of the physician exhausted in the Lope of discovering some remedy available to cure that most distressing of all diseases—Dyspepsia, as well as its long train of evils under their various names. No medicine existed which could speedily, permanently, ef fectually and radically cure and expel these diseases from the system until Dr. Green made known his discovery of the OXY GENATED BITTERS. Such Is its remarkable power and peculiarity, that cases which for years have baffled the most potent medicine and the highest, professional skill, yield to this remedy as readily as If the disease were but of a day’s standing. For all diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, aud for General Debility it is equally salutary and certain. [From W. A. Harp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Ga.) Times.] Covington, April 7, 1860. Messrs. S. W. Fowle A Co— Gentlemen : Having derived benefit from the use of the Oxygenated Bitters, I am glad to do the public a favor by recommending them.

Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester county, New York, says, Nov., 1858 : “I was two years ago attacked with Fever and Ague, which, notwithstanding the best medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedi ous months; I became as yellow as saffron, and reduced to skin and bone. Medicine and physicians were abandoned in despair. Ass an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of six of Brandeth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to arouse all the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the worst—their purgative eflect was different from anything l iiad ever used or heard of. At length this eflect ceased, aud I sec m ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed sen sibly better and slept soundly all night. The next day I fol lowed the same course, and continued to take the Pills in this way about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cured. My health has been surprisingly good ever since.” Price 26 cents per box. Sold by all respectable dealers in medicine. decl-dawlm NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
